This article explains how an Assure Administrator (a system user with administrative access to Assure) can bulk reassign all outstanding tasks from one system user to one or more other system users using the Reassign Tasks feature. The Reassign Tasks option is accessed from the Cog Menu (the settings icon displayed next to a user record) within the Users list under Organisational Configuration. The screen displays two sections: Outstanding Tasks (a count of all pending tasks per category for the selected user) and Reassign Tasks (where a target user is selected per category and the reassignment is triggered). Evotix recommends reassigning tasks only to users who hold the same or similar Role Permissions as the original task holder, to avoid issues completing or approving those tasks.
Prerequisites
- The person performing the reassignment holds the Assure Administrator role or has the appropriate Supervisor Privileges to access Settings > Organisational Configuration > Users.
- Target users (the users tasks will be reassigned to) exist as active system users in Assure.
- Where possible, target users hold the same or similar Role Permissions as the original task holder to ensure they can complete or approve the reassigned tasks without permission issues.
Bulk Reassigning Tasks in Assure
How to Bulk Reassign Tasks
Step 1 - Navigate to the User List
i. In Assure, navigate to Settings > Organisational Configuration > Users.
Step 2 - Locate the User
i. Find the user in the Users list whose tasks you wish to reassign.
Step 3 - Open the Reassign Tasks Option
i. Click the Cog Menu (the settings icon) next to the user's name.
ii. Select Reassign Tasks from the menu options.
Step 4 - Review Outstanding Tasks and Set Reassignment Targets
- Outstanding Tasks - Shows the number of tasks the selected user currently has outstanding, broken down by task category (for example, Actions, Approvals, Reviews).
- Reassign Tasks - Allows the Assure Administrator to select a target user for each task category. Tasks are reassigned in bulk by category.
Step 5 - Confirm the Reassignment
i. Click the Reassign Tasks button to reassign all outstanding tasks to the specified users.
Important Note
Evotix advises reassigning tasks only to users who hold the same or similar system Role Permissions as the original task holder. Assigning tasks to a user who lacks the necessary permissions may prevent them from completing or approving those tasks correctly.

- Relevant Modules and Cross-Module Implications: This feature sits within Organisational Configuration (User Management) in Assure. The tasks being reassigned span multiple modules, including the Action Manager (Actions), the approval workflow (Approvals), and the review workflow (Reviews). Reassigning tasks in bulk from this screen affects task visibility and ownership across all modules where the original user held outstanding tasks. Role Permissions are configured in Settings > Organisational Configuration > Roles and govern whether the target user can act on the reassigned tasks.
